    “Alken Cabin is in a perfect location for visiting the Causeway Coast with sites of interest such as the Giants Causeway within less than 15 minutes drive.”

    The cottage was clean, the bed was comfortable and the views were wonderful. We were lucky enough to have excellent weather, so even in early October we had breakfast and evening meal on the decking enjoying the peace and the views. On the rare occasion that we switched the heating on, the cabin warmed up very quickly. Our only constructive feedback is that a potato masher would be useful, and a deeper fitted sheet on the bed, but besides those two very minor points, it was absolutely perfect ...

Ideally positioned, this delightful base comes within striking distance of the Giant’s Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, sandy beaches and endearing waterfalls, perfect for an adventurous family holiday.

It comes with two wonderfully presented bedrooms, comprising of a double bedroom and a triple bunk bedroom, each offering a tranquil spot to wake up to each morning.

Spend a moment or two in the garden area, where you can enjoy the superb views whilst you enjoy your morning coffee, or rustle up some summer treats on the BBQ during the warmer evenings.

If you can tear yourself away from this superb dwelling, venture to the village of Bushmills and enjoy an afternoon at the Old Bushmills Distillery, where you can sample a fine selection of whiskeys.

Alternatively, explore its wealth of amenities including quaint coffee shops and independent gift shops.

Within a short drive you will find one of the most recognisable World Heritage Sites, The Giant’s Causeway, which was made by millions of years of volcanic and geologic activity.
